For a Moment

For a Moment
Yesterday, I took a walk in the rain
The cool refreshing droplets splashed on my cheeks
I walked
And walked, and walked
Not knowing where I was going

The trees swayed as a chilly spring
Gently caressed their branches
A cute white rabbit scampered
Across a wide open field
He stopped in front of me in a
Patch of emerald
He had a quizzical look on his furry little face
He wiggled his ears
Crinkled, his nose
And scratched his whiskers like
An old man
I started to laugh
He ran off into the distance
Looking like a pearl in a patch of seaweed
The cool refreshing droplets splashed
On my cheeks
I walked
And walked and walked
Not knowing where I was going
I saw a family of ducks on a lake
I stopped to look
Mama duck first
And all the little ducklings gliding
Behind her in a single file
They were dancing to the music
Of the rain tapping on the water

And then on
The mirror-like surface of the lake
And then for a moment.....
I was the only living creature around
The cool refreshing droplets splashed
On my cheeks, I turned
And walked, and walked
Knowing where I was going.
